San Francisco Design Week

Created by Maria Cordell (See other events)
San Francisco Design Week is organized by the local chapters of the IDSA, AIGA, IxDA, AIA, & SEGD and features a full week of events highlighting the diversity and enthusiasm of the design community around the Bay. Our goal is to raise public awareness of the impact that all design—product, graphic, interior, fashion, architecture, advertising, and more—has in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The week will be full of fun events, lectures, workshops, parties, and open studios. All events are open to the public and have separate registrations. Some require purchased tickets, while others just need a free RSVP. The Open Studios do not require anything, just show up. Find out more here: sfdesignweek.org.
